We'll be using the Big Shot Pro machine to make our project. Please check the post below for the supplies to bring with you.See you tomorrow!!!

We have a machine in the store so you can see how well built this machine is and all the different dies that it can cut.

Hi everyone! Last night I used another 12x12 die for the Big Shot Pro machine and made this ginormous pillowbox. The finished size is 8"x5". Very huge for a pillowbox but it holds a lot of stuff. The sample will be at the store so you can see how big it really is. All stamps used are Hero Arts. The lace punch is a Martha Stewart border punch. One of my favorite punches to use right now.

Hi everyone! I made this card last night to show you the new products that the store just received. First off, the stamped flourish background is the new embossing glitter from American Crafts. It is so pretty and very easy to use. The other new item is the large scallop oval nesties from Spellbinders. This new large scallops come in the square and rectangle shapes in both large and small.All stamps used are from Hero Arts. And the gemstones too.Have a great evening!!!

Hi everyone! Products that we ordered at the CHA show have been arriving at the store everyday. Here are some of the new Spellbinder dies. There are a bunch of new dies on backorder and should be coming in soon. We received some of the Greeting Farm stamps too. So many customers have been requesting for these stamps.

We also got in the Martha Stewart scoring board and some papers. There are more boxes that still need to be checked in and priced.Lastly, we received our reorder from Hero Arts. Here are some of the stamps.This last picture shows most of the red hearts that customers brought in during last week so they could get an additional 10% off of their purchases.

We have a big Sizzix shipment coming in tomorrow so stay tuned. Have a great evening!!!

Hi everyone! I'm finally using my Kathy bunny die and decided to put her on this Sizzix box. This is a Pro die called round top box. It is a 12x12 size die to be used in the Pro machine. The top flaps over to the other side and you insert it in the slit. I like the new size of these dies because you can cut 1 box or bag out of 1 sheet of paper. Unlike the XL dies where you have to cut out 2 or 3 pieces to complete a box. We still have the MS grass punch so get it now while it's still in stock. Ribbon used is American Crafts.

We made a matchbook candy favor this past Saturday for our make & take. It was cute and simple. We used Hero Arts dot cling stamp for the background and Dandelion Designs stamps to decorate the cover.Here is the inside of the matchbook. We stapled a lifesavers candy to the inside cover.

Have a great Tuesday and don't forget this week's sale on Offray ribbons!
